Spanish term or phrase: Losa de avance
En un texto sobre protecciones anticaida para construcciones en altura, dice

"...sobre todo en la losa de avance, se precisa que el encofrado esté totalmente ejecutado para colocar en el perímetro las barandillas."

Es la única vez en el texto que se menciona el término.

Mirando en internet me da la impresión que se trata posiblemente de la losa superior en una construcción en curso, pero no sé si esto es correcto, ni tampoco cómo se puede decir esto en inglés.
